Securing a record deal with Ruby Records , a division of Slash , the group released their debut album, Fire of Love , on August 31, 1981. The album was produced by Tito Larriva (of the Plugz ) and Chris D. (frontman of the Flesh Eaters). Critic Stevo Olende wrote that the “album’s lyrical imagery is plundered from voodoo , ’50s EC Comics and the blues “, while Thom Jurek of AllMusic noted that “nobody has heard music like this before or since”. Fire of Love sold well and received strong reviews upon release. Billy Persons of the Weirdos temporarily replaced Ritter for several shows in late 1981.
